Trusted bath resealing in Long Ashton

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Bath resealing at your home in Long Ashton

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and apply fresh mould-resistant silicone. We reseal baths, showers, sinks and worktops, including the awkward bits behind the taps. Whether it’s damp near the bath and mould you can’t clean out, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Long Ashton as everywhere else we work.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Very wide gaps that need a trim
  • Hollow or loose tiles
  • A flexing bath

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Wet rooms
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Baths
  • Shower trays & enclosures
  • Basins & vanity units

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Store bottles on a shelf
  • Give the seal a regular clean
  • Dry the seal after bathing

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, typically around 24 hours.

Black mould in sealant isn’t just unsightly. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes about two hours for a bath. We leave the room clean.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. We remove the old sealant and every trace of residue.
  3. The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
  4. We run a continuous bead of new silicone.
  5. We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Questions from Long Ashton

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How long does resealing take?

Around two hours for a bath, then it needs to cure.

Do you seal over the old sealant?

Never over old. It’s removed, cleaned off and the joint dried first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • Gaps in the seal
  • Discoloured, yellow sealant
  • Black mould in the sealant

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Long Ashton and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlord and trade work in Long Ashton

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
